A Framework for Testing AIS Implementations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Service availability has become one of the most crucial parameter of telecommunications infrastructure and other IT applications. Service Availability Forum (SAF) is a leading organization in publishing open specifications for Highly Available (HA) systems. Its Application Interface Specification (AIS) is a widely accepted standard for application developers. Conformance to the standard is one of the most important quality metrics of AIS implementations. However, implementers of the standard usually perform testing on proprietary test suites, which makes difficult to compare the quality of various AIS middleware. This paper presents a testing environment which can be used to perform both conformance and functional tests on AIS implementations. The results and experiences of testing a particular AIS middleware are also summarized. Finally we show how to integrate our testing environment to be part of a comprehensive TTCN-3 based AIS implementation testing framework.

Security testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
متن کاملComparing Robustness of AIS-Based Middleware Implementations
To enable the interoperability of high availability (HA) middleware systems the Service Availability Forum has released a set of open specifications. The benefit of having open specifications is the choice of implementations available from different vendors. When one chooses a product, one of the selection criteria (besides performance) is the robustness of the implementation, as the crashing o...

In view of current IT integration development of SOA, this paper examines AIS design based on SOA, including information sources collection, accounting business process integration and real-time financial reports. The main objective of this exploratory paper is to facilitate AIS research combing the Web Service, which is often ignored in accounting and computer research. It provides a conceptua...
متن کاملDistributed Black-Box Software Testing Using Negative Selection
In the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. Many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. Negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of Artificial Immune System (AIS) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. In this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...
متن کاملA testing framework for DEVS formalism implementations
The Discrete-Event system Specification (DEVS) is a widely used formalism for discrete-event modelling and simulation. A variety of DEVS modelling and simulation tools have been implemented. Diverse implementations with platformspecific characteristics and often tailored to specific problem domains need to be tested to ensure their compliance with the precise and formal DEVS formalism specifica...
